The advantage of oil -driven engines over coal burners is illustrated by animated diagrams showing the difference in storage space required. As a vivid example of the importance of a fleet that can cover long distances without need for re-fueling, there is a remarkable sequence showing how British ships from all directions closed in on the Nazi bartleship Bismarck to destroy her after the radio message had been sent out. "It takes vast quantities of oil to run this war. . . The men who transport oil in tankers risk their Jives, and many of them have sacrificed their lives toward keeping the supply lines to Britain open. The Germans work under great odds to produce synthetic oil, conserving it as though it were precious jewelry. The air raids by the RAF, destroying huge storage tanks are no help to the German cause. "A beautifully organized, dramatic treatment of a very vital subject. No automobile driver could honestly waste his gasoline for needless trips after seeing this film. The picture has been called 'colossal and complex.'

The seismograph, used to determine earthquake tremors, is used by the oil industry to determine the possible location of oil. The drilling operations to insert thousands of feet of pipe are then shown. The pipes are removed and casing is set. The crude oil which is pumped from the ground is then transported to refineries to produce useful petroleum products. "An excellent study in the applications of geological information to modern industry. Can also be useful in engineering schools. For general education, this film serves to show the kinds of skill that are needed in the petroleum industry."
